Passion outed?

From Nate Robinson's new book:
I don’t think anyone knows this, but a girl taught me how to play basketball.
My cousin Passion taught me everything I knew before I ever played organized ball or five-on-five ball or anything. She taught me how to dribble, how to shoot and how to work hard. She would wake up at six in the morning and wake me up and make me do drills with her. It was funny because she never let me shoot while she worked out. I would just rebound and pass, rebound and pass. She was showing me patience; she said if I rebounded and pass well she’d let me shoot when she was done. She’s the reason I do the behind-the-back thing when I shoot my free throws. Since she used to do it, I learned it. She taught me about dedication at a very young age. It also helped that when it came to basketball, and sports in general, things just came naturally to me, like jumping. I could touch a regulation-NBA backboard when I was 10-years-old – and I wasn’t even five feet tall.

It all makes sense now...
